Special-interest holidays – for something a little different

If you’re looking for a walking holiday with an extra dimension, then our special-interest holidays are for you. Most of our walking holidays offer an insight into local cuisine and ways of life, but if you prefer a more in-depth look, then choose one of our special-interest holidays in Las Alpujarras. Our single-centre walking holidays here allow you to gain unique insights into life in rural Spain – including the chance to help harvest olives. There is plenty of opportunity to walk and explore in this beautiful and remote corner of Andalucía – a region which has been memorably depicted over recent years through the much-loved books by Chris Stewart.

Alternatively, if your passion is for flowers, consider the special flower versions of three of our most highly praised holidays. In Algarve and southern Spain, you can enjoy the remarkable variety and number of spring flowers on specially designed walks which take you through the best areas for local flora. In eastern Switzerland, meanwhile, we offer Walking & Wild Flowers in the Engadine: splendid Alpine scenery, an intimate hotel in an idyllic village, well-crafted cuisine and three guided walks to marvel at the local flora... all the ingredients for a very enjoyable week.

If you would like any advice on special-interest holidays with Inntravel, please contact our knowledgeable reservations team.
